Candidates participating
Are you a Conservative?
We’re watching a serious debate with quality candidates. Go play with the Whigs. Buh-bye child.
Keyes would make Executive Order to protect the life in the womb and would only appoint judges to protect life and our prosterity. Yes!
I just remembered it was on about 10 minutes ago, but I’m only getting a few words at a time with dial up. Maybe someone will tape it and put it on YouTube. Then, while it will download slowly, I can watch the whole thing through after it is all downloaded. Either that, or if they put up a transcript, I’ll read through it.
“Marriage question:
Huckabee wants a constitutional amendment to confirm marriage as between a man and woman.
Tancredo too.”
Good for them, and thank you!
Paul’s “Sanctity of Life Act”... wishes he had more support for it.
Keyes is “okay” a better speaker then candidate, and keep in mind RudyMcThomney all declined to participate (wonder why.../s) so they did need to have more people state their views.
And Keyes also gives a sort of balance to the Debate as he has nothing to lose and people cannot decline to answer, as Keyes can call them out.
If no one responds to you,,,would yoou feel rejected? most are here to listen or read about these folks,this is important to us,,if I can speak for others? Thanks GIST.
Take your medication. I asked a simple question. What’s your problem, your significant other finally get sick of you and leave tonight? Yuck!
So more FRedbots can tell us that RATsmussen matters more than the values voter.

I seem to be getting a few more words, but still not good. Maybe it needs to warm up, or something. :)
I read that www.valuesvoterdebate.com AND www.visionamerica.org will ALSO be streaming the debate. They also will rerun it!
They’re all getting the chance to answer the same question.
Guarantee litmus test for Tancredo to defend the right-to-life
Got ya’ covered, Sun. Will Send you a DVD of the entire thing if you ask nicely.
;-)
Huckabee says there are some people who would feel uncomfortable to answer this pro-life question (refers to empty podiums)
“Does not need to see a constitutional amendment to define marriage. Look up “marriage” in the dictionary (LOL)”
Best line of the debate. I’m sure the dictionary will save us from liberal courts!
‘I like Alan Keyes but there are already a couple of great conservatives in the race and he only dillutes the vote further.’
keyes is no conservative, he’s a professional candidate.
how is it conservative to support reparations?
Keyes has not had a real job for years - he runs for office for a living.
He couldn’t even come close to Obamamama in the senate race.... how is he going to win the Presidency?
Before you bring up the example... he’s no Lincoln.
Keyes, amendment to protect unborn, issue exectutive order to protect life in the womb, and get rid of the SCOTUS justices that disagree
Hunter... 1st thing is pass the Hunter bill that protects life at conception. Won't appoint judges that dissagree
Paul... As an MD that delivered 4000 babies, I know that life begins in the womb, has no cosponser for his bill to protect unborn... then talks way to fast compared to my typing skills
Brownback... I wanna be the president that appoints the justice to overturn Roe v. Wade, I fought for pro life judges, and it needs to be in constitution. Gives good stats
Cox... Issue tears country apart, I'm a Christian, 1955 my mother had a child already and then her husband walked out when carrying him. She didn't have an option to abort, I'll appoint justices to protect life. Never really gave a direct answer, but it' obvious. Tank... There would be a litmus test for justices if he were Pres, quotes Jerimiah"I knew you before you were in the womb" Huck... It's obvious all of us here are pro life and why there are four empty podiums here tonight. (Nice shot) Talks about the coal miners in the womb of the mine... obviously pro-life even though no direct answer
Nope, not got rich through getting government contracts.
Not all businessmen are Ross Perot type parasites.
I’m getting about 5-10 words, a minute of nothing, etc. If they will reshow it, perhaps I can download the whole thing, even if it is time consuming. Then I can watch it through.
“So more FRedbots can tell us that RATsmussen matters more than the values voter.”
In 2000 and 2004, GWB had to count on values voters support (us), now RudyMcThomney is nowhere to be seen.
Who do they think is going to man the phone banks, put the signs out and volunteer to go door to door?
